Consultation has concluded

Welcome back! On December 9, 2019, City Council approved By-law 177 of 2019 to permit secondary dwelling units in any single detached, semidetached or multiple attached dwelling in all Urban Residential 1 (UR1) zones. At this time Council also approved the following amendment that staff be directed to report back regarding the inclusion of properties with septic systems.

It is proposed that changes to the Zoning By-law be made to permit secondary dwelling units in single detached dwellings on partial services in the Suburban Residential (SR1), Rural Residential (RR1) and Rural 1 (RU1) Zones.

The proposal will be considered by Council by virtual public meeting on July 13 at 12:00pm. If you wish to participate in the public meeting please visit virtualsarnia.ca to sign-up and access the meeting information.
